That match was a mess and poorly produced. It’s “Bloodline Rules”, but nothing hardcore or “we’re going to cheat Cody” happened until the last third of the match. And then cameo appearances kept coming that stole focus from Cody one after the other, with no one really being all that special. “Here’s Cena! Here’s Rock! Here’s Taker in sweats!” Then Cody wins with something that he’s already done to death. No one touched Roman during that cameo scramble, and for him to lose to Cody’s regular finisher felt flat.
And that ending celebration. Roman and Rock just disappear and random people who had nothing to do with the match are just there. There’s no big hurrah about Dusty, no on brings in a shirt, a poster, or even ring gear that Cody could to react to. Hell, no one could wear a Goldust shirt, even? The reactions of everyone in the ring felt lame as well. Worst of it all, Prichard is in the ring =/
It’s great that Cody won. But boy was there no creativity in how it was done.
@Jake Allen – No one touched Roman during that cameo scramble? Pretty sure Cena gave Reigns the Attitude Adjustment after knocking Solo out of the ring.
25 run ins later the match was done that wasn’t a very well planned match
